    anyone?

    Please don’t bump your post – it will be seen.
    If you are talking about Mac IE, is it worth the hassle ? No-one else in the world seems to support it …

    Your css is confused.
    You cannot float elements and also use the ‘position’ attribite. If something floats, it floats – remove the ‘position:relative;’ or any other position stuff from any floating elements.
    Your page has a number of validation errors – most will have nothing to do with the issue you have, but it’s worth checking that none of them do.

    thanks for the reply, im using mac IE because i needed to see it similar to a pc view because it’s haywired in IE pc too…

    the validation errors has nuthing to do with the css tho, mostly from a link code.

    i removed any position elements from anywhere with ‘floats’, but still not working.. did i do something wrong?

    Try resetting the width of your #sidebar h2 to 215 pixels.

    thanks for the tip, i did that, there’s finally a little gap but still it’s stuck. im tearing my hair out in frustration at IE! what’s next?

    I just looked at it in IE, and now it looks pretty much as in Firefox.

    It’s the fashion to blame IE for things that go wrong, but I think in this instance IE was not at fault.
